I thought I could do a night jog at about 10pm tonight. Cool. Nice breezy weather.

Then, Didi came back and exclaimed loudly, "Hey, who's bleeding feet?"

Curiously, I walked over to our front door and to my horror, there were faint blood-stained footprints leading to our doorstep. It's creepy loh. Even typing this out makes my hair stand. Suddenly, I want Smelly boy!!! He is not in Singapore now, so I had to sleep alone. Sob sob. Recently, there were quite a few disturbances. Firstly, someone's took our shoes and rearranged them somewhere along the stairway. Now, those blood-stained footprints. And, my missing blue slippers reappeared!!

Whoever's trying to spook us, I think its its super creepy. Why would anyone do such a thing? By the way,  I am in a super bad mood these days. I hope I can find that stupid human prankster and hit him/her on the head.

(If its Ah Piao (gho*t), then forget what I just said.)

ps: Wanna get back my pixs from Dad!! My Kangxi pixs!!!!!!! Grrrrrrrrrrrrrrr!!! He owed everyone's ice-cream!!!!!  

Is there such a thing as pre-wedding blues?

When everything is happening like a massive hurriance going through your life, I hardly had quiet time to sit down and think. Suddenly, silly stuff like "oh, I am getting married. I am going to have a permanent boyfriend. I am going to have one more mother and father plus one more sister. Then a baby or two. I wont have the leisure time to surf internet with my legs crossed. I cannot spend time painting nails and daydream too much." Lots of things. Loads of changes... am I prepared for that? What if I cannot overcome it?

What if Smelly boy bully me and torture me like that Indonesia socialite? Or treat me like an old grass and go after a young grass 30 years later? By then, I would be old and wrinkley. Suddenly, I became kind of worried and scared. So how?  

There are many things I can think of and worry about now. Hey, its the uncertain future. Are all brides-to-be like that? Is it normal? Needless to say, I became mistreating the Smelly boy abit. Little bit not happy, I pinch him. Very bad hor? Sikarli he also have pre-wedding blues and decide to confiscate my engagement ring how?

Then last Sunday, we attended a very special wedding. It was Smelly boy's army friend getting wedded. Perhaps this will be one of the most memorable wedding. Firstly, the venue was held at Sentosa. I had never been to Sentosa for a wedding (I know... suaku). Hah hah. Okie lah. Actually, it was the wedding couple's love story that caught my attention. One day, I was flipping through a women's mag and saw their pictures. The article was about younger men dating older women. And the wedding couple was the couple that the mag's interviewed. We had met up with CJ (bridegroom) a couple of times and knew that he was getting married. But I never knew that he and his wife went through so much to be together. It takes alot of courage and confidence to take this plunge.  

As the couple did their wedding solemization on-stage, I kept having the flashbacks of the mag's article and recalling how difficult for them to be finally together and for CJ to win the heart of the lady he truly love. It was a lovely moment... but this Smelly boy kept spoliting the moment by whispering, "I think its very nice to have a solemization on-stage hor?... see no need too complicate set-up. One simple table will do.. blah blah blah..."

But its a lucky thing Smelly boy kept distracting me. If not, I may burst out in tears at their joyful reunion. So pre-wedding blues? It seems so insignificant compared to the love story of CJ and his wife.

I bought a cute tee for RM10 during my last trip to JB. And I regretted not buying more. Actually, the colour appeared pink under the orange lights, but its really peach colour. I dun like it. I want the real pink!!

So, a great chance to buy more tees!! It's time to choose our wedding pixs mah. So, we headed for the customs again. Hailing for a cab during the afternoon suxs! All cabs are either "On Call" or changing shifts. No choice, we called for a cab.

It was 11am when we reached Neway KTV. Actually I preferred JB's KTV because they have many Cantonese songs!! We sang for 2 hours, ordered 2 main course with free flow salad buffet. The salad buffet improved liao. Now, they include hot and cold drinks at the bar, hot congee with pickled vegetables and peanuts and other stuff. More fruits and salads. I think should rename it as morning buffet instead.

Total bill came up to RM29. No kidding.

Next up, we made our way to Venus Bridal. Hmmm, I think we were quite critical with our pictures. As expected, Ivy tried making us choose more and top up for the extra pixs. The most uninteresting offer was an extra RM5,600 in exchange for all the softcopy + 1 big photo album. I simply said, "Huh? RM5,600? I may as well purchase another RM4,588 package and I get to wear another 8 different outfits and choose to go Desaru this time round. In addition, I will get one big + small album and additional 4 more bridal and evening gowns on the actual day." Lol! Okie lah, she did not try to persuade us any further. Seeing that we were pretty tight fisted with our pix selection.

The pixs were good. Some were really excellent. Xiang did a very good job. We prefer our outdoor shots. Dunno leh, I always feel that outdoor shots made a wedding couple more natural and relax. More themselves. Thats what I always feel whenever I browsed through wedding albums at dinners. I loved our Sultan Garden and Kota Tinggi shots!! Even though we were sweating uncomfortaby at Sultan Garden, our pixs came out great!! The ones that I thought I look sucky actually came out the best! Alas, the Kota Tinggi ones hor!! Especially the waterfalls ones!! I spied those stupid uncles trying to get into our pixs already!! Tamade! They super spolit our pixs loh!! Stupid people constantly swam behind us trying to make funny faces and all. At first, I thought Xiang was taking close ups, so I dun mind. Now I saw those raw unedited pixs, I really regret not throwing rocks at those stupid AA ("attract attention") uncles. Thankfully for the photoshop, we can erase those boliao people. WBD!! ("wang ba dans").

Smelly boy and I did a very chop-chop "reject reject" for those pixs that we thought CMI. We even slashed 3 backgrounds because we felt they wasnt nice. We prefer quality over quantity lah. No point having okie-okie pics mah. Pointless to buy all the softcopies also. 4 hours later, we walked to Plaza Pelangi and City Square and did some more shopping.

Teehee, I bought a pair of working shoes for RM15 and a foam pillow for RM11 (I spolit Smelly boy's pillow by throwing it into the washing machine). And also 2 cute tees for RM10 each. No more pink colour. So, I bought white colour loh.

And Penguin classics books for RM8.50.

And Nandos dinner!! I miss Nandos. My fav in Aussieland!! They have Nandos in Msia wor!! The staff were so nice!!

Okie dokie, going out loh!! Updates soon :p

How time flies... weeks back I was fretting over how am I gonna survive the wedding shoots. Being slightly heavy and with pimple skin these days, I was honestly feeling emo. Ah but then, the photoshoot was much more enjoyable than I thought. And I slept all the way to Kota Tinggi for our outdoor photoshoot. Btw... I haven never been to Kota Tinggi, so I dunno what's it is like except there is a waterfall.

Friday (10 pm)
-Smelly boy is I reached JB. The queue was quite alright. There was a crowd but the customs was pretty efficient. Soon, we were on our way to City Square. Took a cab to Crystal Crown hotel. The hotel is quite alright, RM 178 nett/day. Quickly, we had a shower and slept til the next morning.

Saturday (10:30am)
-The hotel's free breakfast was okie. We suspected one other couple was also Venus Bridal house's customer, judging her madi and pedi. Turned out we were right *smiles* Both were friendly people. However, I was quite nervous. Thus, I might come across as aloof and haughty snob. Hah hah. 
-MUA is Jimmy and Photographer is Xiang and assistant Weiming. Wah sey, they are such funny people!! Jimmy is such a powerful MUA! He just identify my plastic-ed eyes and the way they were cut straightaway so as to advise on the type of eyeliner shape to draw etc. Seriously, I never knew one of my eye is rounder except my eyes werent assymmertical. Hee hee, I walked in with Miriam Yeung eyes. In truth, I always have small eyes even after my eye op. So its a wonder my eyes were so huge after undergoing Jimmy's "magically" hands!!


The fat-fat short-short pic. I dumped my ah-mah dress for this dress at the eleventh hour. Never knew I also dumped a chance to look old-school elegance for a grouchy teapot in most pics. Dunno leh, somewhat I looked so teapot. I think its the dress length and thick waist.


Okie, I tranformed again. I want to be an elegant princess!! Nearly strangling Jimmy with my irritatingly screechin act-cute voice... Kidding lah. I am more mature than that.





Ma and Pa dun recognise me. But I thought I looked the same leh. More makeup only. Maybe its the big eyes bah. I went so far as to dig out the bridal shop's super old white gowns. I learnt that not many people favour gloves liao. So it took some time to dig them out.


My DIY nails!! From Daiso for $2 only. There are 2 type of nail glue from Daiso. Please get he one in tube $2. It smells like elephant glue. In fact, I think it might even be elephant glue. It lasted all the way and came off easily with another $2 glue remover from Daiso. Very impt. You wouldnt want your nails to come off amidst all the gown tugging and pulling.



Tadah! I transform again. This time, I wanted loose curls. The tiara was added by Jimmy. I guess I was abit sleepy liao. This photoshoot was quite painful. Coz we were seated very near the candles. One of the candle's wax dripped onto my arm by accident. Amazingly, I didn't fliched. But I "woke up" and was on high alert the rest of the day. Heehee.


 

One of my intial fav gowns. The long ponytail was a wig. Hah hah! Ma asked why I have a char siew bao on my head. Look like meh?
 
The funny-looking greenie suit. I thought it look quite unique leh. Maybe too angular lah, but its okie wat.



Our all-time fav red-black-white. I especially love the big red roses hair-do.


Smelly boy's fav penguin suit. Heehee.




End of Day 1 indoor shot. See, my eyes are as big as Gigi Lai!! Until the makeup comes off, that is...

Sunday (11:30am)
-We went to 2 different outdoor locations. First off, to Sultan Garden. Wahhhhhhh. Super hot day!!! Sweat and sweat all the time!!! Poor Smelly boy still had to wear the suit and look nice.


 
In the aircon car on our way to Sultan Garden. There were already 3 other couples taking their outdoor shoots. Looks like Sultan Garden is one favourite spot.


Finally to Kota Tinggi!! Bleahz... I forgot to bring towels. So, I horde one tissue box all for selfish me. Haah! Smelly boy suggested using his socks to towel my hair dry. I took away his supply of tissue and left him his socks instead. Hahah hah. 






This is my fav!! Looks very out-of-place nice. Dunno why I can still smile happily after climbing so many rocks.




Being a clumsy teapot. I actually FELL into the river. The poor assistant had to "rescue" me becoz both my feet were tangled with the gown. In helping out, he also fell in. The rocks are real slippery man!! Afterwards, they helped me to remove the veil and hairpins and Smelly Boy and I went into the waters for a "trash the gown concept". Wah!! The cold water very shiok wor!! But its too late to save the bouquet. Too hot, the roses all shivelled up liao.

No more pics liao coz Smelly boy is wet too *smells*

Returned back to the Bridal house at 8:30pm. It was a super tiring day. Somehow, Smelly boy and I manage to lug our 2 heavy luggages back to Singapore. Not bad, we reached home at 10:30pm.

I think I am super lousy siah!! Took 2 days to do some deferred tax liability/asset thingy and its not solved. Unsurprisingly, my snr mgr was not happy. Great!! Just in time for my appraisal. Of all times!!! What's more lousy was I had 3 consecutive nightmares on this matter. First night, I dreamt my other snr mgr screamed at me. Second night, I dreamt that my client screamed at me. Last night, I dreamt even my snr screamed at me. I think tonight would be Smelly Boy's turn to scream at me in my dreams.

To add onto the lousyness, I woke up screaming. You say I super kiddy or not?

H.A.I.Z.

Nevertheless, I am still pretty much caught up with the preparations. Why so many things to do one? I haven finish one task, another thing on the way. I thought I will be a anything-goes bride. But now, I think I am really a bridezella!! Even a simple bridal nails set me thinking for 2-3 weeks!! Acrylic nails, gel extensions, stick on or just a simple French manicure? Til now, I am still thinking.

I have been buying Daiso nails to experiment. In my jest, I destroyed over 4 boxes of nails... plus my own natural nails, including my skin that I accidently glued together.

Currently, this is my wedding shot nails. But I dunno whether I might change my mind during the actual day anot. Damn! Its so hard to function with super long nails. Even smsing is so tough.

Oh!! The wedding dress! Haven really decide yet too!! Tentatively, I chose the "ah-mah" wedding dress, as affectionately coined by Jingjing. She chose Dress 2 lah. Why I chose the "ah-mah" dress leh? Because I got one halter neck silver gown already. Also, the "ah-mah" dress looks kinda special to me. Heehee. Anyway, I still have to pick another 2 more dresses on that shoot itself. Whether its a traditional kua or red dress, I have no idea. Because I might even change some of the selected original dresses. That is so bridezilla siah!

I think its a good thing that Michelle Chia and Shaun Chen (Chan?) and Fann Wong and Christopher Lee wedded this year. Super loads of bridal information. By the way, I think I should get my hairdresser to pose many pictures with Smelly boy and I. Kinda the "in" thing now leh... (heehee)

Were so busy last weekend!! Oh yah, Smelly Boy and I found this hairdresser who coloured our hair for $28 (guy) and $50 (gal), inclusive of simple facial, facial massage, eyebrow grooming (gal) and shaving (guy). So far, my hair looks okie lah. Smelly Boy's hair look like Quan Yifeng at Star Awards *sticks out tongue*.  

Kk, its time to check out my DIY bridal shoes. Yes!! I DIY my shoes too. Fingers itchy. Its the 3rd pair liao... I know know.
